PokerHeaven.com Runs Qualifiers for British Poker Open
Leading online poker room, PokerHeaven.com, has started running exclusive qualifiers for the 2006 British Poker Open. The 2005 British Poker Open was won by online American qualifier Adam Djumovic, who not only walked away with the title – but a first prize of almost £100,000. Poker Heaven are now sending players to the BPO from as little as $2 – not bad for a $7,000 prize package. This includes a £3,000 buy-in to the No Limit Hold’em Freezeout tournament – as well as $1600 for travel expenses.
With each heat being filmed exclusively on the Poker Channel, Sky Channel 265, the British Poker Open is widely regarded as one of the biggest poker tournaments to be taking place in 2006…
